Another football organization is asking for football officials to be more professional. The Alpha FC took its grouse to the media after their match scheduled for this evening at the GFC ground has reportedly been shifted by one day and to the Buxton ground. The club wished to make it clear that it was not consulted as protocol allows for on the different arrangements and in those circumstances they will be reverting to the agreed fixtures

Coach of Alpha, Wayne ‘wiggy’ Dover said, he was subjected to what amounted to threats if Alpha did not toe the line.

Co-Founder of the Kashif and Shanghai Organization, Kashif Mohammed, had his own take on the issue.
